What is a forest? A forest is a living, complexly interrelated community of trees and associated plants and animals. It is an ever-changing community.

Plants dominate the land area. What is a forest? Plants dominate the land area. Animal wildlife may live in association with the forest community. Forests will live indefinitely on a given area of land unless seriously disturbed by people or altered by catastrophic events.

What is a forest? Forests contribute to the stability of nature and consequently benefit many forms of life, including human beings. The study of forests and associated communities is known as forestry.

Forest – living community of trees, plants, and animals Forest – living community of trees, plants, and animals. Forestry – study of forests and associated communities.

What is the importance of a forest? Forests are a very important part of the environment. Forests cover about one-third of the earth’s surface. Afghanistan has approximately 1,351,000 hectares of forests.

What is the importance of a forest? The art of producing and tending a forest is called silviculture. The relationship between genetics and environmental influences must be understood for silviculture to be effectively practiced.

What are the types of forests? Forests once covered many of the worlds continents. This vast natural resource promoted the growth of many countries.

What are the types of forests? There are several types of forests. A native forest is one in which the species are voluntarily growing and are naturally present in the area. Native forests often have a variety of species and provide wildlife habitat.

What are the types of forests? The majority of the forests in Afghanistan have been cut one or more times. This area is known as re-growth forest because if given enough time, it re-grows approximately every quarter century after cutting.

What are the types of forests? An uncut forest is known as an old-growth forest.

What are the types of forests? A tree farm is an area that has been planted to select and improve tree species. Undesirable native species are not allowed to grow on tree farms. Practices are used to protect the trees and promote rapid, desirable growth.

What are the types of forests? Regular harvest schedules are followed and usually result in higher wood production. Commercial forestry is caring for a forest to improve the quality and quantity of wood when it is marketed.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests have many uses. Products from the trees that grow in forests are used in many ways. The uses of forests are far greater than just the trees.

What are the uses a forest provides? Economic benefits are the commercial uses made of forests. Raw materials are used for manufacturing useful products. A log is a segment of the main stem, or trunk, of a tree that is suitable for sawing into lumber. Pulpwood is the wood that is used to make paper and similar products.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests provide a large number of other products including fence posts, maple syrup, nuts, berries, and many specialty wood materials. Microsoft.com

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests provide a number of important benefits to the environment. Forests influence local climate. Trees can cool small areas in warm weather and reduce wind movement throughout the year.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests conserve moisture. Trees reduce the loss of water to runoff and help retain snow as it is melting; maintaining groundwater supplies and reducing the chance of flooding.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests provide habitat for wildlife. Many trees produce nuts or berries that are used as food by wildlife. Some wildlife species use leaves, holes in trees, and other places as nesting or bedding areas.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forests can be used for pollutant removal and detection. Trees remove some pollutants from the air. Trees reduce particulate in the air by holding it on leaf surfaces. Trees are used for noise reduction. Trees are often planted along roads to reduce the noise from passing vehicles.

What are the uses a forest provides? Forest provide recreational activities. People enjoy hiking in forests and observing tree growth and wildlife.

Forest Uses Each year a tree captures an average of 11 Forest Uses Each year a tree captures an average of 11.8 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the Earth’s atmosphere.

Review / Summary What is a forest? Explain the importance of forests. Identify the types of forests Describe the uses of forests.
